Owners Sue and Al Pera are staples in the community (Watch my interview with Sue from What’s on Tap), so their base is local and loyal. Of course they’re known for great coffee and atmosphere, terrific breakfast and lunch foods — whether you’re eating in or on the go — plus delicious baked goods and even ice cream treats (my husband is obsessed with the espresso milkshake!).

And you probably know about the long-standing Cornerstone Culinary Kitchen, which consistently sells out its classes that range from grilling to gourmet.

The Cornerstone Coffeehouse also hosts live music every weekend and recently launched Open Mic Night on select Wednesdays each month.

Doug Morris performs the best of Bruce Springsteen at Cornerstone Coffeehouse.

Intimate and family friendly, Cornerstone hosts local musicians who perform a variety of styles, creating the perfect atmosphere for enjoying your after-dinner drinks — free of charge.
